American Rye with the Old World character
In 2007, a band of dedicated Rye enthusiasts bought a farm — they actually purchased a plot of land in Vermont lovingly named Whistle Pig Farm. They teamed up with master distiller Dave Pickerell — formerly of Maker’s Mark — to bring genuine Rye Whiskey back to the forefront of American Whiskeys. It took a while, but they have now grown to become a true “estate producer,” which means that all aspects of their core Whiskey production are on site from growing the grain to bottling the spirit. They produce three award-winning core products and have experimented with a variety of finished wood Rye Whiskeys.
This means quality production by MGP that is aged and finished at WhistlePig Farm in Port, Sauternes, and Madeira wood casks.
The key to the unique flavor character of WhistlePig 12YO is in the combination of the casks. After spending 12 years in new American oak casks, it is then finished in three European wine casks: Madeira, Port and French Sauternes.
Smartasss Corner:
What the heck is "whistle pig" anyway? Even though all Whistle Pig Whisky labels are adorned with the sketch of a tuxedo-clad hog, "whistle pig", groundhog and woodchuck all refer to the same animal.

Ratings & Reviews
Antti,
It is an outstanding, rich Rye Whiskey with a rich birth; while a rich & complex life; leads to a long & rich death with notes of dark chocolate, caramel & a hint of smoke.
Richard,
This whiskey has ruined me. I've just learned to appreciate whiskey and now nothing compares to this one. It's good on the rocks but even better neat with a few drops of water. Caramel and fruit are the prominent notes. Price is similar to my local distributor.
Ryan,
I picked up a bottle of a slightly different blend of this exclusive to a Chicagoland liquor store. Not sure how it differs from the standard release in terms of taste, but the one I have is absolutely fantastic. This is definitely something I'll be keeping in stock in the home bar.
John,
Sweet and subtle bite throughout. Smooth rye whiskey.
Lawrence,
This whiskey is definitely an acquired taste...that I haven't yet developed. I am not a fan of aging whiskey in various wine barrels.
I want my whiskey to taste like whiskey and my wine etc.
I'm embarrassed to tell anyone how much I spent on this bottle.
Wish I could get my money back or a credit to spend toward something I would drink. Oh well, live and learn.
Jennifer,
I wish I could buy your bottle!
